Default vibration in front end

Hi was wondering if anyone could help me on this. I have a 98 ram 4x4 when I turn sharp I get a vibration in the front end. I only feel this if im turning into my driveway or sharp slow turn. Truck seems to steer fine. I cant notice it at higher speed. Im not in 4 wheel drive when this happens. Could this be wheel bearings. Thanks

Could be wheel barrings, what type/size tires do you have?

stock tires i believe 235 75r 16. Ive had these tires on for years just dont remember doing this when i first got tires. This has been happening for months. I recently had all new ball joints put in and brakes, but this was on going before doing that. If wheel bearing was gone I should have play in the wheel right? I have no play in the wheel. Maybe its just the tires doing it.
